We appreciate the enormous support that our ABestWeb community has experienced over the many years it has served its members and sponsors. We have decided to exit this business and have placed the property up for sale and we are actively entertaining interest.

In the meantime, community members will be able to read but not post to ABestWeb beginning on Jan. 18.

"Scheduled site downtime on Tuesday, September 5 at 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time

Due to system upgrades, the CJ Account Managerô will be unavailable starting September 5, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time, until approximately 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Tracking and recording of transactions are fully functional when the site is unavailable. When the site returns your reports may be delayed for up to 24 hours. If there are any changes to this schedule we will post them to the site to keep you informed."

We should take wagers on the new announced date. I say Sept 12. Let's see who can get the closest.

I think CJ is just doing this to keep us from complaining to our merchants about the current default JS links. And to think I removed my anti LMI avatar today prematurely.

You know, I contacted CJ after the last "failed" attempt and they told me it was not a failed upgrade, but that CJ wanted to give their clients 72 hours notice of an outage so they can plan appropriately for it.

Well, let's all remember that it was several weeks ago (about Aug. 17th) that CJ announced this change. I'm guessing they are going to drag this out as long as they can to keep us at bay and stop the severe negative publicity that they were being bombarded with prior to Aug. 17th.

I'd be real curious to hear from any AM's or merchants as to what they are hearing from CJ about all this. If you are afraid to post publicly here, send me a PM and I will post it without your name or merchant name. Hopefully you merchants are hearing something about all of this and are not in the dark like us affiliates.

Strange thing is that yesterday evening I showed a number of sales - this morning 1 sale had just disappeared from the quick stats, and now it seems to be stuck in the transaction reports again together with other sales!! Also my balance is not what it should be. I know that they said it would be 24 hours for reporting to be back to normal, but I'm going to download and save the transaction report just in case. At least I'll have proof (I hope!). Sure hope they haven't screwed up anything else.
